[robocup-msrs] New MSRS 1.5 Soccer Package is available

[Kyle Johns]

The new Soccer Package for Microsoft Robotics Studio 1.5 is now available at:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=afa19ee3-f959-4ebc-a25f-4a2f32fb8fb2&displaylang=en

You will need to install MSRS 1.5 before installing this package.  Of course, you will also need to install the 1.5 versions of the Robosoft binaries for the Robudogs which are available from here:

http://www.robubox.com/robosoft/data/Robocup/RobudogSimulatorInstall.jsp

This soccer package has the features that Jackson requested:
1.  It allows the referee to be configured to do a kickoff after the ball goes out of bounds instead of teleporting the ball back onto the field.

2.  It allows a damping value to be specified for the soccer ball in the referee config file.  The higher the damping value, the less distance the ball will roll.  This greatly increases the realism of the soccer ball movement on the field.

3.  The referee includes the changes that I made in Atlanta to allow the Robudogs to be moved around the soccer field without flying off into space (most of the time).

I have attached the Red Team, Blue Team, and Referee manifests to this email.  I could not include them in the package because they are specific to the Robudog.

Hey Jackson and others,

I have gotten an OK to build an updated soccer package for 1.5 that has the features you request below.  In addition, I will include the referee changes that I made on-site in Atlanta to allow the referee to move the robudogs properly.   As per Niko's request, I will also include the red, blue, and referee manifests that we used in Atlanta.  This will be released by the end of the week (hopefully sooner).

-Kyle

Hi Guys, sorry for the delay, but we were waiting for a formal
approval from Microsoft-Brazil to have MS-Robotics Studio at our
RoboCup Brazil Open:

Our site was not updated yet, but we have the approval of MS-Brazil
and we will run MS-Robotics Studio at our Brazil Open:
http://robocup.sorocaba.unesp.br/brazilopen2007/

Kyle, George I will need some help :-).
If we have more time until Brazil Open we should try the Nao from
Aldebaran, but as Brazil open is just in 24 days we will still use
the Robudogs.
But I would like to have some small changes from Atlanta.

1st I would like to have greater friction, so the ball should stop
and not keep going...
2nd I would like to have a kickoff after the ball goes out of the
field and not just the teleport ball. The Physical Visualization
Subleague worked this way in Atlanta. There were 2 on 2 games with
the Citizen's Eco-Bes and when the ball gone out of the field the
game restarts from a kickoff. This way robots will not kick the ball
after a teleport without seeing it :-).

Kyle, George, or someone else should help me with this?

Jackson
